Sabal Palm Elementary students need funds to attend state competition

Published: Updated:

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- A group of fifth graders at Sabal Palm Elementary School need your help getting to a state competition.

The school’s “Odyssey of the Mind” team placed second at the regional tournament last weekend for their runaway train problem.

Now they need to raise about $2,500 to compete in the state finals in April.

“We made it this far and it’s our schools first year performing and it would be a really big thing if we elevated to world,” said student Adrian Alvarado.

“To get our kids up to Orlando is expensive so to have the community show their support, to lend their help in that it makes a big difference, it’s going to make it possible, that’s what it’s going to do,” said teacher Maria Larocco.
